Summary
Intermittent self-catheterisation is a long-standing, effective method for managing urinary retention. Supporting individuals in choosing and using this technique can significantly improve their quality of life.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Patient Care
Background:
- Voiding difficulties necessitate urinary catheter use.
- Indwelling catheters can negatively impact lifestyle and mental health.
- Intermittent catheterisation offers an alternative for bladder drainage.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the history and indications of intermittent self-catheterisation.
- To provide guidance on supporting individuals in performing self-catheterisation.
- To highlight the benefits of intermittent catheterisation over indwelling catheters.
Main Methods:
- Historical review of intermittent catheterisation.
- Examination of current indications for self-catheterisation.
- Discussion of patient support strategies.
Main Results:
- Intermittent self-catheterisation has a history spanning over 3500 years.
- It is considered the 'gold standard' for bladder drainage.
- Despite its efficacy, intermittent catheterisation is under-utilized compared to indwelling catheters.
Conclusions:
- Patient choice and support are crucial for effective catheterisation.
- Intermittent self-catheterisation offers a viable and beneficial alternative for many.
- Promoting intermittent catheterisation can enhance patient wellbeing and manage voiding difficulties.

144
Parenteral Nutrition (PN) delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. It is commonly used for individuals with severe digestive disorders or conditions that prevent normal nutrient absorption.
PN can be administered through two primary routes:
1. Central Parenteral Nutrition (CPN):
CPN involves delivering a high concentration of nutrients through a large vein. This is typically achieved using a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) or,...
